static try?

[Mehrdad]

I've written this piece of code a fair number of times:

      static if (is(typeof(foo()))) { foo(); }
      else { bar(); }

When the expression inside the condition (i.e. the call to foo()) gets 
complicated, you get lots of code duplication and things become harder 
to read.

So I'm thinking, why not just introduce a 'static try'?

Something like:

     static try
     {
         foo();
     }
     catch  // (string ex)  // perhaps let them know what the error is?
     {
         bar();
     }

It's a clean and immensely readable improvement IMO, and it doesn't 
introduce any new keywords or any breaking changes to anything.

How's the idea?
